Embedded Modelling and Simulation Software System for Adaptive Engineering of Hydraulic Gear Pumps

Abstract

The paper presents an analysis and validation method for a CAD model of a spur gear pumps series using FEM simulations. The analyzed pump is a new improved variant chosen among several constructive solutions created by parametric aided design in a range of gear pumps. Using mathematical computations and a calculus methodology there were identified the pressure values and forces generated in the pump assembly. The proposed study is especially applied to the gearing area and to the outlet chamber, where values and their variations are higher. FEM simulations are performed in these areas in order to identify and to present in a summary table the values of maximum stress, deformations and the percentages of calculation errors. The pump modelled and optimized by successive simulations led to the creation of an innovative gear pump series depending on the requirements imposed by the beneficiary.

Improvements and materials for production of a magnetic drive micropump: an overview and recommendations

“…Of course, despite these constraints, the project's cost should be optimal and the resulted prototype reliable and affordable for mass industrial production. Conception and development of a new magnetic drive pump rises some risks: the magnetic field creation system required to drive the pump may have a high energy consumption; high costs for experiments and validation of the pump variant; dissipation of the magnetic flux inside the pump without a proper driving effect [1]; certain functional requirements [2] may not be fulfilled by the functional prototype, leading to a decrease of the prescribed pressure and the appearance of certain worn areas; the choice of the metallic and polymeric composite materials may require further laborious researches; difficulties in balancing the resulting forces from pump operation [6], etc.…”
